Introduction to Space Climate
Abstract
"Space Climate" is a relatively new scientific concept, which combines a number of disciplines in space and atmospheric sciences under the common aim to better understand the long-term changes in the Sun, heliosphere and in the near-Earth environment. In this brief summary we define the contents and aims of Space Climate. We also review some recent findings that are discussed in the papers included in this issue of Advances in Space Research, noting on some problems that should be solved, as well as some new lines of research that could lead to a better understanding of some of the main questions of Space Climate.
